- Hamara bajaj is now hamara chetakevI had purchased it when ev was new in market, I am very much satisfied. I had drove it for more than 50000 kms with no expense. I had to change only tyres and regular service only one auxiliary battery of Rs. 800 had been changed. I am quiet impressed me and my son both have purchased but there is very less front space between handle and seat to carry extra luggage vegetables or ration need to improve in this area good service staff in patni and Nagpur. I will recommend everyone to go for this ev only. Positive, Very good for local commute, I had recovered all the money spend for purchase, me and my son had not spend a single penny for petrol, very pleasant ride for city and highway also but with limitation of distance. mid age person college boys with huge space in seat box for helmet and laptop girls working women also it's value for money, I had already 2 chetak with me and both vehicle had been run for 50000 and 23000 kms planning to purchase one more for my wife.Read More

- Experience and Review of Guerrilla 450An excellent bike with solid engine. It has that attractiveness to fall in love. Compact size, big blast. I choose to experience this machine for its style, liquid cooled engine, TFT display, suspension and everything. Long rides does not feel boring on this machine. It definitely give good comfort, mileage depends on situation, 17-22 in traffic and 23-27 on highway. The torque it generates is just fabulous. It has given me upper hand in drag races. Would definitely recommend this bike to teenagers and those riders who wants to experience the feeling of driving Himalayan. This machine is a segment killer, no other bike can pair with it except its big sister Himalayan 450.Read More
